Disclaimer: I do not own the anime show DBZ. If I did, it would have ended a lot differently.

Thanks for the reviews. I really liked them.

BLAME

CHAPTER 10

Goku yet again scanned for his loved ones. Still they were gone. Where were they? He didn't know what he'd do if he lost Tai. He had already lost ChiChi. He couldn't help but blame himself for her disappearance. He had been too hard on Tai for the whole engagement thing. He just wanted her to explore life a little. Now she was gone and it was his entire fault. Vegeta was pacing back and forth in the den. Bra was missing too and Goku had a feeling that Vegeta wasn't going to sleep until Bra was found. It would be the same with him and Gohan also. Pan, Tai, and Bra were missing. He didn't really care about Uub. He pretty much hated him. Then he heard Goten, Marron and Trunks screaming loudly from Tai's bedroom. He and Vegeta ran towards the bedroom and gasped when they reached it. Standing in there were the ghosts of ChiChi and Meg Ferris...

-In the Past-

ChiChi slowly opened her eyes to find herself lying on her bed. She heard voices coming from the kitchen. One of them belonged to Tai. She then remembered that Tai said she was her daughter. The last thing she remembered was that she was at the Lookout. She must have fainted. She walked out of the bedroom and into the den. She saw Gohan sitting angrily on the couch. Tai then bounced into the room and smiled. She had on different clothes than she had before. She was wearing a lime green top that read 'Gettin' Lucky in Kentucky', hip huggers and socks. Her hair was pulled into a ponytail and she was smiling.

"Hey Mom. Nice to see you're awake." Tai smiled happily.

"So you're my daughter?" ChiChi asked looking at Tai.

"Yep. But you never thought you'd have a daughter didja?" Tai said.

"No I didn't." ChiChi replied. "So you fight?"

"Yeah. You don't like it. Neither does Dad at that matter. But the only reason I fight is to keep my body in shape and to kick other guys butts." Tai replied honestly.

ChiChi smiled and looked her daughter over. This was her daughter. The daughter she would help raise. She didn't quite get Tai acting like an evil character.

"The only reason I acted evil was to get your guys attention." Tai said as if she read her mind.

"She's going to Julliard." Uub piped in whom was standing behind Tai.

"She's going to be an actress." Pan said walking into the room. "Oh and I'm your granddaughter, Pan."

"I know." ChiChi replied.

"Hey wanna go shopping? I want to see all the clothes from this time!" Tai suggested.

"Why?" Pan asked.

"You know nothing about fashion kid. This time is retro. Retro is in. I need retro to be in." Tai explained.

"You're already the most popular girl in school. How can you get any more popular?" Pan asked.

"I need to protect my throne." Tai answered matter-of-factly.

And with that Tai dragged ChiChi, Uub, and Pan out of the house. Gohan snorted and picked up the newspaper. He didn't trust Tai at all. Somebody who claimed she was on the good side would not act evil. Even if she was trying to get people's attention. The stories she had told about the family Christmases and how his mother had made costumes for all the school plays she was in seem unreal. Like everything she made up was like a television show. Goten came into the den and plopped onto the couch next to Gohan.

"She's cool!" Goten exclaimed. "I like her."

"Cool? She's a prep. I don't trust her." Gohan said.

"Don't say that about your sister." Goku said as he walked into the room.

"Dad, don't you find her a little suspicious? I trust she is our sister but something with her is not right. Like those stories about Christmas. Naw, something is not right with her and I don't think you should trust her!" Gohan shouted.

"Listen Gohan. Tai may have showed up without a reason and made a pretty weird entrance, but that gives you no right to say that about her." Goku scolded.

"Dad. She said you don't like her training. I can't imagine that!" Gohan replied.

"I probably wouldn't like my only daughter training." Goku replied. "Now, please, be easy on Tai."

"Whatever." Gohan said getting up.

He walked into his room and shut the door. He still couldn't shake the feeling that Tai was not who she said she was. The way she talked seemed to say it all. How could his father not see through Tai's façade? Something just wasn't right and her wouldn't sleep until he found out. He then had a plan. He would visit Baba, the fortuneteller. He opened his window and flew out of it. He sped away toward where Baba was. As he was flying, he caught sight of a ki flying in his direction. It was Vegeta. He stopped and waited for Vegeta to catch up.

"Where are you going?" Gohan asked.

"Same place you are. To get answers. I trust you don't believe Tai either. The girl, Bra, says she is who she says she is and Bulma did a check to see if she was telling the truth. She was. But I still have a bad feeling about Tai." Vegeta explained.

They flew towards Baba's island and saw she was waiting there for them.

"How did you know we were coming?" Gohan asked.

"Well I am a fortune teller. You came to see about Tai, didn't you? Well she is who she says she is...to a certain degree." Baba said.

"What do you mean to a certain degree?" Vegeta asked angrily.

"Funny that you two are here together asking questions." Baba smiled.

"Answer me woman. Tell or I will kill you!" Vegeta growled forming a ki blast in his palm.

"No need to be hasty!" Baba said nervously. "I'm just doing this for Gohan's sake. The future Tai describes is far from what it really is."

"My sake? What could be so bad that you would have to worry about me?" Gohan asked skeptically.

"Ooooooh. You will wish you never found out. Ohhhh. You will wish." Baba said shaking her head.

-Back in the Future-

(Yeah I know you hate me for leaving off at a cliffhanger in the past!)

"Hiya Mr. Son! What's up?" Meg greeted.

Goku could only nod. His wife and his daughter's best friend were standing in his bedroom. The scary part was that they were dead. (Which has been said a million times in this story!) Goku stepped backwards into Vegeta. Vegeta's face was contorted into a look of horror.

"Ohmygosh! I think we actually freaked out Mr. Son and Vegeta! They look just like the people in Halloween before Michael Myers kills them...only with spikier hair!" Meg exclaimed.

"That is not good." ChiChi said.

"YOU'RE DEAD!" Goten managed to say.

"Thanks for rubbing it in." Meg murmured.

"Why are you here?" Vegeta asked.

"To tell you about Tai." ChiChi answered.

"Hey...ummm...Mrs.Son let me do the talking and you and Mr. Son go catch up or something like that." Meg said.

Everybody gave Meg a funny look. She just shrugged and said, "Come on, if it was Tai she would have gone on and said what we all are thinking."

"Tell us what you know about Tai." Goku ordered.

"Whoa, Mr. Son, chill out." Meg said. "Tai is alive and she was going to run away with Uub and go somewhere. But she never got the chance to. The androids got to her first..."

That was chapter 10. I left it all with a lot of cliffhangers so you will hopefully stick around. So review please!
